      Question regarding Hogan interview yesterday

      Maybe Hogan should have MD start reporting certain mental health issues to NICS. Right now almost no states report mental health data. I know the VA does as I had a retired Navy Seal get refused due to a previous case of PTSD which was resolved. VA never "unreported" him. It was easy to...

      Baltimore County man films himself turning over weapons, hopes more follow

      Interview with felons in prision This reminds me of an interview I saw at a MSP training session where multiple hard core felons were asked what acted as a deterrent to them when deciding to rob or attack someone. NO - police, laws, going to jail. The only YES was not knowing if the victim...

      When is an SBR not an SBR?

      As a FFL and SOT holder, I would consider this an SBR unless I had documentation from the ATF otherwise. A rifle subject to the NFA has a barrel of less than 16 inches in length. The ATF procedure for measuring barrel length is to measure from the closed bolt (or breech-face) to the furthermost...

      Responsible persons form

      Sherrif I tell all of my customers to send it to their Sheriff. For Anne Arundel County, that's: Sheriff's Office, 8 Church Circle, Annapolis, MD 21401. They should be able to give to the appropriate individual.

      MSP Licensing advisory 12-6-17

      I'm a dealer and here is my read on the Advisory. When the customer comes in for the final transfer, you must complete the transfer online with the Licensing Portal, then the 4473. Completing the 77r on a day other than the day of transfer (per the MSP) could result in forfeiture of our...

      Opps Sorry guys, looked, but didn't see the other threads. My bad.

      MSP Bans Out-of-State transfers of Hi-Cap Mags

      The MSP just sent out an Advisory to all dealers that bans out-of-state transfers (not routine sales) of hi-cap mags. In the past, if a firearm arrived at the dealer with hi-cap mags, they could send them to the purchasers friend or relative that lives out of state. The purchaser could then...

      Legality of transferring firearm with Hi-cap mags (MD workaround)?

      MSP Advisory on Hi-Cap Mags On 9/25/17, the MSP sent out an Advisory to all MD FFL's (see attached) that says that if the mags that came with a firearm that was transferred in MD, the transfer of mags "outside MD" is considered illegal as it's "associated" with an in state transfer. No...

      Frames, Receivers and HQL

      The only "legal" .223 ARs in MD (other than an SBR) are those with a heavy barrel (HBAR) and those are regulated, hence the need for a 77R. Since a lower receiver cannot be built into a banned weapon, the only allowed build is either as a pistol or a HBAR, and both require a 77R.

      Frames, Receivers and HQL

      I have transferred many AR lower receivers to customers without the need for them having a HQL. I recently sent 2 applications to the MSP Portal, one for 4 Glock frames and one for a single Glock frame. One was "Not Disapproved" and one was returned to the customer saying he needed an HQL. I...

      Can I mail myself a 30 round mag?

      I'm not an airlines expert, but it was explained to me that if a passenger checked a bag and then didn't board the plane, they would delay the plane and pull the bags unless the passenger was "officially" delayed and still traveling to that location. Checking bags and being a no-show raises a...

      Can I mail myself a 30 round mag?

      Prior legal possession I would look at it this way. If you legally possessed it in MD first, then you would probably be ok mailing it back to yourself at a later date. But, buying one out of state and mailing it into MD, could be considered "receiving" as you never had prior legal possession...

      Additional info on MSP Advisory on SBR/SBS

      In addition to the just released LD-FRS-14-002 - Revised, dtd May 2, 2014, which states that SBRs and SBSs are defined as a handguns and require both a MSP 77R and approval by the Handgun Roster Board, I sent an inquiry to Cpl. Edwards about whether this meant that SBRs and SBSs also require a...

      HBARs - are you taking a chance?

      Good catch, I mistyped when I said that the MSP were not disapproving HBARs as they were considered long guns when AR's were regulated. The AG did come out with a official interpretation that .22 ARs were significantly different internally that they were not considered to be copies and hence...

      Confiscation in Maryland

      True. The MSP could revoke the license and press charges if they so desired. What I said is what was briefed to us by the MSP when they issued us our Regulated Firearms License. Bottom line is if a FFL follows the law, they should never have to retrieve a firearm.

      HBARs - are you taking a chance?

      OK, prior to Oct 1, the MSP said that HBARs were OK and that seems to be carrying over to post Oct 1. Some shops in MD are even selling HBARs and the MSP seems to be not disapproving them. However, remember that the MSP legally cannot interpret law, only enforce it. Only the AG can interpret...

      Confiscation in Maryland

      Who retrieves a firearm If a FFL transfers a firearm prior to 7-days or after a "Disapproved", it is up to the FFL to retrieve the firearms (FFL is at fault). If a FFL transfers a firearm on or after the 8th day or with a "Not Disapproved", it is up to the MSP to retrieve the firearms (MSP...

      HB-115: Task Force to Study Firearms and Global Positioning Satellite (GPS) Devices

      GPS Tracking is Illegal I wonder if he thought about the 2012 Supreme Court ruling that the use of a GPS to track someone is considered to be a search and is illegal without a search warrant. Regardless of the technology limitations and the overall stupidity of the concept, I don't think this...

      Too to for an SBR?

      It's all in the nomenclature When you took possession of the lower, it was transferred on the 4473 as a "receiver" and on the 77-R as "O" for other - assault weapons in MD are "X" on page 2 of the 77-R. Currently, one can build out a legally owned receiver to be either a pistol or a long-gun...

      Send an AR lower out of State after 10/1?

      Interesting variation on OPs question Ponder this. You own and are grandfathered in on one of the soon to be banned firearms. It's was purchased just prior to the ban and is still under warranty. Something fails and you send it back to the manufacturer who informs you that they can't (or...
